We fully endorse the editorial comments
upon this letter, found in another column of
the Vermonter, as follows:
Heading off the Hugs.

This plan for protecting cucumbers,
squashes and melons from the ravages of
insects is followed in the Rural New York
ers grounds: As soon as melons, squash
es or cucumbers appear plant-protector
is placed over each hill Here we have a
perfect protection. The cost of the pro.
tectors is the sole objection. Made in this
way, however, the cost is triling: Take
four strips of wood, three inches wide and
one or two feet long, as preferred Tor ac-
cording to the area of the hilD and nail
them together, forming square Tack
mosquito netting over this, and set the
frame over the hill, pressing it into the soil
somew hat, or throwing up the soil around
it, so that the beetles cannot creep under.
We use this handy and most serviceablo
contrivance to cover tender seeding pota-
to plants, melons, squashes, cucumbers,
pumpkins, with the greatest satisfaction.
1t solves the problem for us, not only as to
the striped beetle, but plants so protected
are rarely attacked by the cut-worm.

tended to be impartial, but they are com
piled from hundreds Of correspondents,
some Of them incompetent, and others in
tcrcsted in prospective prices. Though the
majority of the department correspondents
may make truthful reports as far as they
are able according TO the extent of their
knowledge, it is always a question how
near the facts the compiled report may be.
The local items in state papers, referring
to the crops, are generally made by those
who have no interest except to state facts.
So far, this season, these items show n
very favorable condition of nearly all the
farm crops This is especially true of our

The Best Wny,

We are satisfied that for most farmers
the best way to use the slowly soluble phos-
pilates, such as steamed bone and floats, is
to scatter them in with manure every day
in the stable, in the proportion of about 40
pounds to every ton. Well saved and han
died stable manure lacks due proportion
of phosphoric acid to give it the proper
balance, as food for common farm crops.
BY adding 40 pounds of bone, or South
Carolina floats, to each ton, in way that
ensures a thorough mixing, the manure
will go twice as far, with equally good re
suits, The longer time before using that
the mixture is made, the more soluble it
becomes -Rurui TeJmOnter.

A large majority Of writers have always
favored cutting grass early. The theory
has been that it was at its best when in
bloom. The experiments of Prof Sanborn
at the New Hampshire agricultural col
lege, in feeding both early and late cut hay,
seemed to prove that timothy at least was
best when cut after passing out of bloom.
Experiments at the Pennsylvania agricul-
tural college, if correctly reported in the
Homestead, shows that timothy grass when
cut while in bloom, contains more actual
food elements than if cut 16 days later
when the weight is found to be considera-
bly, increased At the Pennsylvania col
lege the tests were made by chemical analy-
ses-not by actual feeding as they were
made by Prof Sanborn. At the Pennsyl-
vania college two acres Of timothy grass
especially uniform in character and growth
were divided into two plots of one acre
each One lot was cut in full bloom and
the other was cut about 16 days later, when
the grass was approaching ripeness. The
grass was carefully cured and the hay
weighed when stored in the barn. After
being in the barn for five or six months
each lot of hay was reweighed to determine
the amount of "dry' hay from each cut
ting. The average increased yield of dry
hay was $40 pounds per acre, where the
grass was nearly ripe, over the yield OF
grass cut in bloom. The average shrink
o,ye in weight of earlv-cut hay was 2B per

From the reports Of the Elmirn

From the reports Of the Elmira farmers
club, we learn that the use of commercial
fertilizers has been nearly abandoned by the
leading farmers in the Genesee valley The
objection to them seems to be belief that
they do not pay their cost In other sections
of the country, the verdict is just the re
verse of this With the present high cost
of labor, many farmers think it cheaper to
buy commercial fertilizers than to hire help
to draw muck or other absorbents for
compost.
